Jen got her early training as an International Litigation & Arbitration Associate with Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy, LLP, in New York, concentrating on Holocaust-era inter-governmental negotiation and property litigation issues, art disputes, and class actions. She also was awarded for her work on behalf of Catholic nuns and others tortured and murdered during the Salvadoran civil war. Previously, Jen clerked for The Honorable Barefoot Sanders, United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Her path in life was heavily influenced by studying abroad at Karl Marx Universität in Leipzig, Germany (now the University of Leipzig), as well as in Austria, Mexico, and Costa Rica.
